A small collection of whimsy—pure and simple. Just cool stuff creative people are contributing to the world that catches my eye and lightens the moment. Might generate an idea here or there. Might inspire something. Might just be fun and remarkable.

Whimsy= dream+vision+flight of the imagination+hope+desire+just kinda cool+enjoy

A rainbow in your hand beats two in the sky.

Ever held a rainbow in your hand? You can.

Words crying out for attention. And they’re adoptable.

How can you not like something that’s called Save the Words? A collage of seldom used words crying out for your attention. “Me, me, pick me!” So many to chose from and learn about. And they all need good homes. Words like:

Divinipotent adj. Having strong divinatory powers
She discovered water beneath the well and now thinks she’s divinipotent.

Pessundate v. To cast down or destroy.
There are certain people who believe that the Berlin Wall was pessundated by some strategically placed termites.

Could spend days here and I might. Note to self: revisit before the next Scrabble tournament.

One day poem–catch it while you can.

I love installation art having created my fair share of it. Especially installations that are outdoors, using the changing elements as part of the work. Especially if they have words. This one has both: The One Day Poem. The artist, Jiyeon Song, uses the sun to illuminate words onto the surface below but it only happens during certain times of the year. *swoon* Love this! Love!

The doodling! The humor! The idea! The funny!

An action packed 3:12 minute video called A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything delivers on it’s promise. Wow.

An art student, clearly an overly ambitious art student, created this for a class from 2100 pages of flipbooks with cartoon drawings. A ginormous amount of doodling. It’s amazing and hilarious. Seriously, watch the whole thing.

Something a little more cerebral but just as ambitious.

And finally, another installation, this time a kinetic sculpture of 714 metal spheres, hanging from thin steel wires that move independently, creating shapes from seeming chaos. Cool stuff.

Back in December (seems like so long ago), I spent six days with 15,000 brilliant earth and space scientists from around the world who flock annually to San Francisco for the AGU Fall Meeting. I was invited to visually map parts of the conference after I visually facilitated a 10-year strategic planning process for the organization back in October. You can see the murals from both on my Portfolio page.

Because this was the first time AGU had a visual mapper at the conference, they didn’t quite know what to do with me. Aside from the first day, a day-long council meeting in which we reviewed the planning process, I had no idea what I was going to be doing for the next five.

The conference was very scientific. Very. There were sessions titled:

• Exploration and Study of Antarctic Subglacial Aquatic Environments
• Interhemispheric Similarities and Asymmetries in Geospace Phenomena
• Empirical and Modeling Reconstructions of the Tempo, Mode, and Origin of Paleocirculation and Climate Change During the Holocene and Prior Periods

Uh dude, you wouldn’t laugh if you knew my day rate

Being a political science major with an MFA, I was entirely out of my element. (I happened to swung by the Purdue booth–they were there recruiting–to say hi to my alma mater. When I told the guy my major and year I graduated he laughed. I should have told him my day rate. That would have made him stop laughing, but I digress.)

What do you mean I can’t hang paper on the wall?

The day before the conference starts they tell me we can’t hang paper on the wall. Fine. I’ve been doing yoga for 12 years, I know how to be flexible. We can work around that. We’ll just use these big billboard things and have them set up in the rooms I need to be in.

What do you mean I can’t move the billboards to where I need them?

Nope. Once the union guys set them up the day before the conference, they can’t be moved. Um, okay, now what?

This is me starting to sweat a bit…I was looking at four big, two-sided billboard things set up in the middle of the atrium on the second floor where thousands of people walked by all day and no way for me to do my visual mapping live in the room where I needed to be. Huh?

You mean you want me to do my stuff in the open in front of everyone?

Here I must explain the difference between working live when I’m processing information so quickly that I don’t have time to notice that people are watching me because I’m in a magical flow.

And when I’m not working live and I have time to think about what I’m doing which sounds like this in my head: let’s see I can put the whale here and then put the fish there and then have room to list the objectives. What color goes with that red? No, that doesn’t look good. Crap. I need to erase that wave because it doesn’t look good.

That’s the kind of stuff I NEVER hear when I’m working live. Plus it takes me a lot longer because I think about what I’m doing. So it’s harder for me to get into a rhythm when I’m standing in front of eight feet of white paper and no one is talking.

In which I pull an old skill out of my bag of tricks

So I resorted to an old skill of mine from when I worked as a journalist: I became a roving reporter. I found interesting sessions to attend like the Geoblogger’s lunch and the Bright STaRS lunch with the smart high school kids, took notes, then conquered my performance anxiety and in front of passersby, started composing the first mural from my notes. It was from a workshop teaching scientists how to talk to Congress. Here’s a piece of it.

And it turned out great. A little more polished than a live mural because I could take my time with it and be more precise. The roving journalism became my schtick all week. Attend a few sessions, take notes and turn them into murals. I also interviewed some folks who were presenting cool projects and programs and turned those into mini-murals like this one on the movement to set down the basic knowledge of what everyone should know about earth science like the earth is 4.6 billion years old. Take that creationists! And being there in the atrium generated a lot of interest. People came by and talked to me while I worked to say they loved what I was doing. I got interviewed for a NASA blog.

Getting the visual maps onto the blogs and Twitter right away

I digitized the murals as soon as I completed them and posted them to Twitter with the #AGU09 hashtag. The AGU staff posted them on the Fall Meeting blog here and here. We disseminated them right away so that people following the conference from all over the world could see a tiny glimpse of what was going on.

People took pictures and blogged about it. When beer o’clock took place in the atrium every afternoon, tons of people gathered around the murals to learn about sessions they missed like How to be a Congressional Science Fellow.

As the week progressed, the remarkableness of visual mapping filled the space in the second floor atrium. It became a place for people to gather and talk, infusing a boring conference space with color, movement and art making it feel more human. More lively.

This was the first time I’ve worked this way–due to constraints with the conference facility that I wasn’t privy to until I was at the conference forcing me to come up with a plan B and quick–and it turned out better than I would have thought. The old saying about turning lemons into lemonade comes to mind. And now I have a new process I feel comfortable with in case there’s another instance where I don’t have walls or billboards that move.

So next Thursday I’m doing this thing, a teleclass, with my buddy Cairene MacDonald of ThirdHandWorks. I absolutely love Cairene and have participated in many of her Bite the Candy sessions where you carve out several hours to tackle a few of those things that have piled up—things that you don’t want to do–in a really gentle way. When Cairene asked me to be her January Guest Guide I jumped at the chance.

I’m really excited about it but also kind of nervous because it’s my first teleclass.
And it being my first teleclass, I totally don’t have the I should promote this thing shouldn’t I if I want people to come figured out. So this is me promoting it. Or really just telling you a little about it to see if it sounds like something that might be helpful for you.

Business planning for creative people

Since its January, we’re going to focus on business planning. But not the sucky, scary kind that makes creative people like you break out in hives.

What we’re going to do will be way cooler. We’re going to envision where we want our businesses to go and then create a visual business plan to get there.

As Cairene says: I love mind-mapping. I encourage my students to use mind-mapping. I think it’s a really useful tool to have in one’s tool box. It’s a technique that is organic and visual and intuitive and relational—and can help you discover and organize ideas in ways that list-making just can’t.

Exactly!

How it will work

Before we get to the mindmapping though, I’m going to help you tap into your intuition and take a visual journey through the landscape of your business. Maybe a visual touchstone or totem will emerge for you, like mine did recently when I got a vision of my people as sailboats bobbing gently in the Caribbean Sea.

We’ll imagine what you want to do in the coming year (or if you prefer, in the more immediate next three months.)

Then we’ll brainstorm ideas about your direction and organize them into a visual framework with clear action steps.

You’ll get to play with markers, colored sticky notes and big paper. And any other kind of fun stuff you can think of that your visual plan might need.

You’ll come away with a customized-for-you visual business plan. One that inspires and delights you. One you’ll want to use it every day like I do mine.

But I can’t draw!

If you’re intimidated about not having the art gene (relax, there isn’t an art gene), no worries. We’ll be using colored post-it notes and basic shapes to compose our ideas. And you’ll receive a file beforehand with some simple icon drawings from me that you can easily copy.

Interested? Head over here to sign up. And find that pack of colored markers you have tucked away because we’re going to give them a work out! See you on the call next Thursday.

Oh, and the call will be recorded if you can’t make it.

I’ve been here this week working at AGU’s Fall Meeting, which is the largest gathering of geospace scientists in the world. There are thousands of brilliant earth and space scientists sharing their research findings with each other, networking, drinking beer (seriously, these folks like their beer–they tap the kegs every day at beer o’clock which is something like 4 pm and then the conference center smells like a frat party) and just being smart people who have serious concerns about global warming and climate change.

Way to welcome a girl to town!

The first day I walked into the conference center my jaw dropped and a big grin came across my face. The staff at AGU had taken my murals from the 10-year strategic visioning retreat we did back in October, had them reproduced and mounted in stand-alone frames and placed in the conference atrium so they can’t be missed by the 15,000 AGU members attending the conference.

(Oh, and the reproduction quality–Gorgeous!)

Seriously, if you’re a local, you could drive by the Moscone West conference center and see these things from the street. They are that big. OMG Julie-ness in life-size, panoramic color. I don’t think I’ve ever filled an atrium before!
This figures into one of the new goals: to have greater transparency about what the organization is doing for its members. They wanted everyone to see the new vision and direction for the organization. And what a way to do it!

Interestingly for me, I don’t usually see my work again, especially the life-sized originals, once I hand them off to the client. So I typically don’t revisit, in full-scale panoramic color, what I create for my clients. I mentioned this to one of the facilitators I worked with (we revisted the strategic plan during a one-day council meeting before the conference). And she said, “So how’s that working out for you?”

I could get used to this.

Seeing these murals from one of my favorite gigs of all time, reproduced so beautifully and used in such a powerful and relevant way–I’d have to say it’s working out pretty darn well, thank you!

Some of the murals I’m doing at the conference are on AGU’s blog which you can check out here.

Update: AGU’s membership is 55,000 and about 15,000 of them attend the Fall Meeting. The membership number in my newsletter was incorrect.

Yesterday, my friend the amazing Hiro Boga, held a free teleclass where she offered a taste of her amazing energy work. I never pass up an opportunity to tune into the depth of myself with someone as gifted as Hiro.

On the Yellow Brick Road call, (if you weren’t on it you should beg her for the recording) we would look toward the future of our business. Not in a yucky analytical planning kind of way but in a deeply centered, intuitive, sovereignty kind of way.

What’s your relationship to your future?

The question that kicked off her theme. After a bit of introduction she started doing her magic energy moving stuff, taking us through our body and focusing us deep inside the center of our skull where we connected with our soul. From that place, she asked us to look at the soul of our business.

The soul of my business is a magic marker and also a little girl

In connecting to the soul of our business, Hiro asked us to hold out our hand to welcome the hand from the soul of our business.** My business appeared to me as a beautiful young girl about five or six years old, in a summer party dress with flowers strewn in her hair.

** A few days prior to this call, I had a session with Hiro where she had me look at the soul of my business which I saw as a magic marker and at myself, which I saw as glittering gold dust. I know–gold dust! I love that image too.

This time the little girl was flitting about, clearly comfortable with herself and passing out her extra flowers to every one around her. I could tell she was so happy to be alive without a care in the world. Thrilled to be in her own world with those around her.

The future of my business is lush and there are boats

In the next step of the call, Hiro had us envision the landscape of our business’s future. I stood there, holding the hand of this wondrous little girl, and saw that we were in the crease where two mountains came together. We were somewhere tropical. Exotic. Lush. Think Caribbean. Gardenia and frangipani flowers scented the air. Mangos grew in the trees above us.

Surveying from our perch I saw the turquoise blue of the sea. Hiro guided us to look around to see who else was there. Ask for whomever you want to meet. Ask for allies and pay attention to who shows up.

I saw boats. Sailboats.** Nice-sized, sea worthy sailboats. Yachts even. And my people—my tribe– were on the boats, bobbing up and down with the waves, just waiting.

**At one point in my life growing up, my father owned a marina business so I have spent a lot of time on the water in boats, and love to race sailboats.

The spirit of the boat

I asked Hiro how I could find out more about the people on the boats because clearly they are my right people. I could only see them as vague shapes. I wanted to know these people. I needed to know these people.

This is when Hiro said the most brilliant thing.Talk to the spirit of the boat. Spend time with the boat like you would a new place you were traveling to. Get to know it. Ask for permission to come aboard. Ask the boat where it’s going. Ask what the boat wants to tell you.

Ahhh, of course!!

The touchstones for my tribe

This answer from her tied in so beautifully to something that came up in my previous session with her last week when we looked at the soul of my business. Right now I’m in search of my people, my tribe. Hello? I’m looking for you.

What she saw for me was so reassuring. There are many trails laid out for me. Many beings have gone before me and marked the trails. And the trails are a whole network that overlap and intersect like the delta of a river.

The Delta of a River.

The image I have of my river delta is one you would see if you flew over at night during a full moon with the rivulets, tributaries and streams glistening in reflected light. Shimmering. Beckoning.

So I am using the river delta and the gently bobbing sailboats as touchstones for my right people—my tribe of fellow group energy movers who work their magic with businesses and organizations both overtly and covertly. This is where the soul of my business is taking me. We’re on a journey in the ocean of the world.

We have a lot of work to do in the world, me and the soul of my business. I’m off to spend more time with the spirit of my boats. I’ll let you know what I discover.

It always tickles me when I walk into the office of a client I’ve done work with and see a mural that I did for them hanging in their office. Like at the CDC.

Or better yet, to see that one of my murals has been scanned, re-sized and printed (with my copyright permission) multiple times into posters and hung all over the building, which is what the CDC did with the 20-year history map I created for them last year. (You can see the full original on my Portfolio page.)

The CDC has also, via email and copiers, circulated the infamous (in a good way) Alice Waters mural that I did in 2007 during a talk she gave at the CDC. This is the mural that put me on the map, so to speak, at the CDC because everyone has seen it. And Alice loved it so much she signed it.

I love to see this happening because it shows that my clients have turned the meeting artifact—the murals—into a living document, something that they continue to refer to for inspiration and to chart their progress.

A practical example of my own

I have done this myself with my three-month business plan map. I’ve had it on my wall since October. Periodically I’ve been updating it, checking my progress, crossing off things I’ve accomplished or adding additional ideas.

After an illuminating conversation with the brilliant Can-do-ologist Marissa Bracke in which she asked me what would my ideal day look like if I felt perfectly supported, I took an orange marker and put a dotted line around all the to-do items that were delegate-able. Oh boy, was I amazed! Then I started delegating.

A War Room of murals

(The political operative in me loves the word War Room.) One of my corporate clients was in a process of reimagining a product line. If you’ve seen recent commercials with Julia Louis-Dreyfus then you know which brand.

I spent a day with their marketing team capturing consumer research and percolating ideas in six separate murals. At the end of the meeting, they declared they were going to set up a War Room with the murals so they would have a physical place to be with the ideas as they continued to have discussions and make decisions. Very cool idea.

When the team, and other folks who weren’t at the initial meeting with us, met again later to review the research findings and work on branding and advertising, they simply had to look at the murals to get the essence of the ideas that were generated that day.

Here’s why they needed me

If I hadn’t been there, they would have had to dig through an enormous, day-long PowerPoint deck to refresh their memory. Gah! I can’t imagine anything more tedious and inefficient.

It was a long day and there was a ton of great ideas and information flowing which can be hard to retain in its entirety. But all they had to do was to go to the War Room or flip through the digital versions of the murals I provided for them on their computer.

Why murals live on and flip chart notes do not

I think it’s the scale of these things–these murals I create with my clients–that lends them to living on past the meeting.

I mean, they are Panoramic. Typically about 4×8 feet, though the CDC mural was even bigger. The murals can certainly enliven an office space and keep your big ideas handy.

A mural can be used for fundraising

I visually facilitated a three-year strategic planning retreat for the Conservation Voters of South Carolina (folks who are fighting the good fight politically for the environmental community of SC) at a 170-year old house that had an original copy of South Carolina’s Succession, but that’s another story.

The final mural I did at the planning retreat was a synthesis of their action steps into a visual image that clearly showed all the areas of their work. I can’t show it to you because their plans to turn the state green are proprietary. Rock on.

They were already intending to hang all the murals in their office, like a War Room. I suggested that they also use their strategic plan mural to:

• Revisit and chart their progress at board meetings
• Use as a recruiting tool for prospective board members because in a quick glance someone can see exactly where the organization is headed
• Use with major donor fundraising for the same reason as above

How would you use one of my murals?

I love to hear stories about how my clients use their murals, so if you’ve got one, please send it along. Or share ideas about how you can see these murals helping with clarity and direction long after the actual meeting.

So I do this thing that requires me to draw in front of people. Fortunately I have my back to them while I’m in a flow state otherwise, gah! I would probably have all kinds of performance anxiety issues, which I do not. Thankfully.

What I do have is a struggle with drawing from my imagination, essentially having to whip images out of my head. On the spot. While still listening to the conversation as it’s happening.

How can this be you ask? Haven’t I been an artist for most of my life? Don’t I have a Masters in Fine Art which assumes I know a little sumthin’ sumthin’ about drawing? Didn’t I teach figure drawing for five years, helping all kinds of people get over their emotional and mental hurdles about drawing the human figure in my own version of The Artist’s Way?

Yes, all that is true, but….and this is a big But, I learned how to draw from life. Which means that I learned how to draw by looking at something (a banana, a naked man, an artichoke) while drawing it.

I learned how to see something clearly in all its nuances, textures, shadows and shapes and translate what I was seeing onto paper. It’s no coincidence that my superpower is Clarity.

I can teach anyone to draw

In fact, I claim that by teaching this particular technique to hundreds of people throughout the years, I have Never Not (love that double negative) been able to teach someone how to draw. I have a 100% success rate. And that goes for all those people who thought they had no artistic ability or “couldn’t draw a straight line.”

(I may turn this simple 10-minute lesson into a video at some point because really, who doesn’t want to learn how to draw?) Stay tuned.

That’s how I learned how to draw—by looking and seeing. Now I’m doing this fantastically fun work where I’m translating what people are saying into images/pictures/simple icons in a cartoon form.

These pictures stand in for a thought and I have to conjure these things out of my head.

Out of my head. On the spot. Quick like a bunny. (And here I would draw a bunny in a hurry.)

Where I fess up to the hardest part of my business

Some of the time I struggle, especially when it comes to drawing people doing stuff or having facial expressions. Drawing cartoon people, which as I’ve been saying, is so different from how I initially learned to draw. Which means that I’m having to relearn how to draw.

And this is actually the hardest part of my business for me. There, I said it. Because I have to challenge myself as an artist.

Get some training. What a good idea!

I’ve bought books and worked with them. I even hired a cartoonist about eight months ago to give me and a colleague a weekend cartoon drawing workshop. My friend and I learned a few things from him but we blew his mind when we told him that we have one shot to get our image down on wall-size paper because the conversation is moving along (did I mention I do this work live in meetings, conferences, coaching sessions, etc.?) and you have to stay with the flow. You don’t have time to draw and redraw.

When our cartoon teacher draws his cartoons for Marvel, he uses tracing paper—layers and layers of tracing paper– so he can redraw the same thing over and over again, perfecting it. He wasn’t able to teach us a quick, one-shot, bing bang approach to drawing a person, say, making a grimace because they can’t draw cartoon people.

Still looking for a cartoon teacher

So I’m still in search of a good cartoon teacher or course I can take because I want to get some expressions on my people and have them doing stuff so they animate the murals I create.

If you know of anyone, please send them my way and I’ll keep you updated on my progress with this.

Oh, I should say, the fabulous clients I work with always say great stuff about my murals and drawings. They probably have no idea that I’m unsatisfied with the way I draw my people. It’s my own critical eye I’m trying to satisfy here.

Do you have a three month business plan? Are you using it? Does it make you happy? Make you smile? Does it express the excitement you have for your business?

Yesterday I created my three-month business plan and just looking at it makes me hysterically happy. My plan has pictures! Hearts! Hot pink dots! Kangaroos! And confetti! How could I not love it? How could I not be wildly inspired by it? How could I not use it every day?

Big picture systems thinking.

Most importantly, I can see The Big Picture. In large-scale (4×6 feet) panoramic full color. It’s a huge monument to where I want to go. A Roadmap of Inspiration.

Having all your ideas in one place.

Getting it out on paper allowed me to have a huge brain dump of all those ideas, visions and details that had been bouncing around in my head.

When you carry stuff around for a while in your mind you just keep cycling through the same ideas and thoughts. There is less room for new thoughts and ideas to come in. So getting those thoughts down on paper where I can see them frees up some cache in my mind for new ideas, dreams and possibilities.

Clarity for your team.

Having all my ideas, projects and plans in one place makes it easy to show other people where I’m going, like the new assistant I’m hiring this week! (Part of my biggification process.)

By looking at the whole mural, she will get a strong, clear understanding of what my business is about and where we’re headed in the next three months. There’s a whole section of the mural that has the projects I want her to start working on.

And she’ll get this in about five minutes. Five minutes! I won’t have to take an hour or two to explain all the pieces and parts of my business because it’s all right there in panoramic living color.

Refer to your plan every day.

I’ll give her a digital version and print one on legal-size paper so that we can keep it handy and refer to it every day for guidance. Like a color-chromatic GPS system!

Another real life example.

I did a similar personal mapping session for Kelly Parkinson of Copylicious. She came to me with a ton of ideas swimming around in her head because she’s super creative and an idea-generating machine. As she said about the experience:

I saw one of the maps Julie had created for another client and thought that this was exactly the thing I needed. I needed to get out of my own brain. Even though I’m a copywriter so I should be able to write my way out of any problem, sometimes writing out my thoughts on my own business just gets me lost in the maze again. I needed something visual and something fun and an outside perspective.

We spent about two hours on the phone. I listened and asked questions while writing and drawing her ideas on a 4×8 foot piece of paper.

This is what Kelly had to say afterward:

I don’t know why all these things in my head are so overwhelming but when I see them like this it makes perfect sense.

You made it into a system that makes sense and I can see how it all fits together. This was so amazing. I’m so glad I did this.

Not only do I have clarity on this situation, but I also have a new vision for what my business could really become. I know EXACTLY what I need to be doing now–next steps and things to move toward in the future.

Need a three month business plan that you’ll actually love and want to use?

Several weeks ago Pam Slim, coach and author of Escape from Cubicle Nation–the blog and recent book, swung through Atlanta on her world tour and I hung out with her for the day at her workshop, contributing my graphic facilitation magic. Fun-O-Matic!

I found Pam’s blog several years ago. We’ve been internet friends for a long time and this was the first time we spent time in person. And just as I expected—she rocks!

And because Pam attracts some incredibly interesting and gifted people, I made a couple of wonderful new friends. Yay for new friends!

Her workshop was full of great ideas to help brainstorm a business into being. At several points in the day, I captured the conversations in visual maps.

Hi, I’m Julie and I’m in Stage 3

Introductions were done using Martha Beck’s Change Cycle which has four stages: Death and Rebirth, Dreaming and Scheming, The Promised Land, and The Hero’s Saga.

We gave a brief description and identified where we were on the Change Cycle with our businesses. It was no surprise that most were in stages one and two: Death and Rebirth or Dreaming and Scheming as there were a lot of people in the brainstorming or formative stage of starting up a business.

You have an idea, then what?

A lot of the participants already had an idea, or a kernel of an idea, so the next step was to figure out “Who are my people?” We did this with two business ideas. One was for a business that helps other businesses start wikis and get engaged with social media. The second was for the Curvy Yogini, a yoga business focused on curvier people.

“I’ll never be successful”

After lunch one of the areas Pam had us focus on was negative thinking—all those thoughts that come from the reptilian brain telling us we’ll never be successful, and we’ll end up living in a van down by the river.

One person volunteered to explore her fears around her coaching practice; specifically that she doesn’t provide enough value. Pam broke down her fear thoughts and asked her questions from Byron Katie’s The Work to see whether her fear was true.

Toward the end of the day I mindmapped while we brainstormed an idea for a travel-based business that gives innovative entrepreneurs the time and space they need to be creative. We thought of all the different aspects and questions to sort out when thinking about how this business could work.

Mindmapping + brainstorming=powerful results

I loved doing this work with Pam at her workshop. In fact, it’s one of my favorite ways to use graphic facilitation: to help you see your big dream clearly, in focus, so you know what to do next.

There’s always that moment (often more than one) during a personal mapping session when you can see all the moving parts and how they fit together and suddenly it starts to make sense. There’s an “a-ha!” And more importantly, the steps ahead become much easier to accomplish. That moment is magical.

Many thanks to Pam for such a fabulous day!!
